If you call yourself a social media enthusiast, than you should be very proud to walk around with the Facebook and Twitter Superstar Adidas shoes designed by Gerry McKay. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the shoes haven’t been produced (yet) by Adidas, although they were petitioned to do it.
Anyway, imagine the impact of such a trend: I’m scared of the perspective of doing maketing in this way. Personalized objects, and T-shirts are very usual, but Adidas sharing their brand with world-conquering Facebook it’s not like it’s going to happen very soon.
The Facebook sneakers have more of a finese touch in comparison with the Twitter ones, besides the colour and the logo, on the interior one can find also the definition of Facebook. (Like anynone would need it!)
I was wondering if you would buy such shoes? How much you’d be willing to pay for them? If you can’t decide between the two, maybe you’ll design yourself a personalized Adidas Superstar based on your favourite social network. It would be a blast. So, which one’s your favourite?

[…] If you take a look at the pictures below you will probably think that they represents different cities or continents during night time, like the view you get when looking out the plane window. Or maybe you’d think it’s a satellite photo. But the correct answer is: neither of them. Actually Eric Fisher created quite a few maps of continents and metropolises from around the world in which he reveals where people who use two specific social networks – Flickr, the photo-sharing website and Twitter, the micro-messaging network – are situated. Basically he took into consideration from where do people post geotagged photos to Flickr and geotagged tweets to Twitter. […]

Addidas Twitter Superstars are definitely my favourite.I love their color and also the little bird from Twitter, but I don`t think I would spend a big amount of money on them.They are pretty, but they don`t deserve that much 😉

Well, Adidas isn’t cheap however. Let’s hope this remains just in the stage of the design, because otherwise it would become a contagious trend. 🙂
